Our trip to the Cathedral of Learning was fantastic! The kids were so engaged with the information the guides shared with us, and they were incredibly polite and well-behaved in the common learning areas where college students were working and studying. We wish you all safe travels if you are travelling, and rest and relaxation if you aren’t!

English w/ Mrs. McFadden –
- Upcoming Tests/Quizzes- none scheduled
- We continued reading The Parker Inheritance. This book is set in dual time periods: the 1950’s and 2017. The kids are enjoying the 1950’s setting more, as that is where the mystery and the history take place. We watched a video on Juneteenth, and are learning about segregation and integration.
- We also continued to practice finding the theme with the picture book The Spider Lady – Nana Songer and Her Arachnid WWII Army.
